Toto Wolff says Mercedes felt “subdu𒁏ed” following its surprise victory ༺in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix, calling Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc “the emotional winner” after his late demise.

Leclerc was on course to take his maiden F1 victory before an engine issue in the closing stages caused him to slow and drop to third, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:allowing Mercedes to sweep t🌄o🐼 a one-two finish, led by Lewis Hamilton.

Despite a near-perfect start to the season that has seen the team score 8🦹7 of a possible 88 points, Mercedes chief Wolff said feelings were far from jubilant in the aftermath of the Bahrain weekend ꦅfollowing Ferrari’s domination.

“It’s a bit subdued because we are all raꦑcers, and the emotional winner was Charles,” Wolff said.

“But on the other side, in motor racing, you end up in both situations. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you’re unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience a🏅t least.

“You have to take the one-two, celebrate, but take it with🧸 humility and a knowled🗹ge that there is work to be done, and not think that this was the performance ranking of the Sunday. It wasn’t.”

Wolff praised Leclerc for showing grea♉t maturity in his reaction to the 🅷defeat.

“It’s very, very impressive. He has a good personality, he is a humble young man and he’s very fast💎,” Wolff said.

“The combination between the speed, personality and being able🃏 to temper your emotions in both directions is a great ingredient.

“I know that many other drivers who have the lion in them, like he certainly has, would have reacted in a much more controversial way about the third place and would have 𓂃been angry a🎃nd would have displayed that.

“None of that you see with Charles.”
